    This morning, I walked 3/8ths mile to the local strip mall. At 6:35, my ride share showed up. I flashed my Medicare card and gave $0.50. I took my seat and plugged into my podcasts. Two hours later, I walked into the BMW service center and paid $10 for a quart of oil.

    I took the local bus, so water condensed on the exterior windows. The fifty cents was a great bargain even in humid Alabama.

    "paid $10"

    Is there something celestial about their oil?
